Hilarious: IUML and CPM compete for AMU in Kerala

The proposed off-campus centre of the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) in Kerala has now become a bone of contention between the CPI(M) and the Muslim League in its mutual competition to prove affinity to Muslim community.
The proposal to have the centre at the Muslim-dominated Malappuram district was clearly a strategic move by the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government in its various successful forays to spread its clout among the state's 80 lakh Muslims who form 24.7 per cent of the population. Initially the move received public support from Muslim League,
The proposal to have an off-campus centre in Kerala was cleared easily by the AMU thanks to its present vice chancellor and also registrar who happen to be Malayalis.
But a strategic slip from the CPI(M) has now come to League's aid to make good for its lost ground. The government initially had said the centre would be set up in the land it earlier acquired for an industrial township near Panakkad in Malappuram which happens to be the village of Panakkad Shihab Thangal, Muslim League's state president. Little did the CPI(M) then realise that the AMU centre in Panakkad would let a major advantage for the League as it was its head quarters.

Wisdom dawned on the CPI(M) belatedly. It hurriedly began moves to shelve Panakkad. The government came out with a new statement that the centre would not be in Panakkad as the land was earmarked for a government-backed management institute. The CPI(M) also started moves to have the campus in Perinthalmanna in the same Malappuram district. The CPI(M) also started campaign that management institute at Panakkad and AMU at Perinthalmanna would mean two premier educational institutes for the Malappuram district.
This came as a god send for the League which was bated breath watching the Left's firm and fast moves. The decision not to set up the campus at Panakkad has triggered League into action. Now it has launched a campaign against CPI(M)'s moves to "deny the AMU centre for Malappuram". The suggested new location of Perinthalmanna, which despite being in Malappuram district, is not as Muslim-dominated as Malappuram Assembly constituency. So this too is shown as an "anti-Muslim" move.
With Lok Sabha elections round the corner and the League facing an assault from the CPI(M) on its bastions, cannot be happier. For the AMU issue is a sure winner for them. If the campus is finally set up at Panakkad, League will certainly take more credit than CPI(M) despite its claim as the project's progenitor. And if it is not set up there, League would have a dream weapon to target the Left and charge that it denied AMU to Kerala's Muslim heartland.

is CPM playing ball for Pakistan in India?

After Mumbai attacks, CPM release a statement condemning the Mumbai attacks. Along with their statement CPM also released the statement of their "sister" organization in Pakistan - CMKP

This further exposes communist double standards!!!

1. In the statement condemning Mumbai attacks why they had to drag in "Hindu Fundamentalists". Was it to balance out!

2. it was CPM who released the statement of their sister organization in Pakistan -- Communist Workers and Peasant's Party (CMKP). It is intriguing that CPM has a sister organization in every country which is enemy of India

3. No where in CMKP's statement mentions Pakistan. By releasing it does CPM endorse it? it reads

CMKP strongly condemns the barbaric and heinous acts of planned murder and destruction carried out by terrorists in Mumbai, India. We express our sincerest condolence with all the people who fell victim to this savage crime,' the statement read.

4. Then comes the most outrageous piece. It reads

It also hailed the role of the entire Indian Left, which it said was 'doing its utmost to reign in reprisals by Hindu fundamentalist forces against the Muslims of India.

'Why is CPM allowing a foreign entity to interfere in internal affairs of India! By releasing their statement is CPM endorsing their statement?

5. CMKP condemns alleged reprisals of Muslims in India. Are they referring to a link between the alleged reprisal and Mumbai attack? Has every CPM condemned reprisal on Hindus in Pakistan and Bangladesh?

Dislodge The Anti-People Jayalalitha Govt CPI(M)’s Clarion Call For The People Of Tamilnadu

A SPECIAL political conference of the CPI(M) Tamilnadu state unit called upon the people of the state to throw out the anti-people Jayalalitha government in the coming elections to the state assembly. The conference adopted a resolution delineating the people’s issues on which the elections must be fought. The resolution also contained contours of the alternative pro-people path any new government must adopt after coming to power.

The conference got off to a start on February 18 amidst thunderous slogans of ‘Red Salute to Red flag’ and ‘Red Salute to CPI(M)’ renting the air at Madurai Thamukkam Grounds with R Umanath, Polit Bureau member of the CPI(M) hoisting the Party flag.
At a time when all political parties in the state were engrossed in the task of seat sharing negotiations, the CPI(M) state committee was engaged in a different but admirable activity of conducting a political conference at Madurai for the purpose of formulating its document for an alternative path.

CPM = Communist Party with Mutual Fund..

An article by CPM General Secretary Prakash Karat last week came down heavily on the new pension scheme of the Government saying it would siphon off thousands of crores earned by employees to the speculative stockmarket with no assured returns. The argument: the stockmarket, capitalism’s seamy showcase, has to be avoided. But not when it comes to the CPM’s own cash reserve.

Income tax returns filed by the party from 2002 to 2006 show it has earned a substantial amount from interest and dividends: Rs 1.88 crore (2002), Rs 1.17 crore (2003), Rs 2.10 crore (2004), Rs 2.15 crore (2005) and Rs 1.92 crore (2006).

senior Politburo member M K Pandhe says

“We have invested in mutual funds because we get better returns than banks.As long as we are working in a capitalist system, we will have to be part of the system,”

In the portfolio, PSUs are not exactly at the top. As of July 31, 2008, the fund’s portfolio included Reliance Industries, Glaxosmithkline, Reliance Communications, Tata Tea, TCS, Infosys and Shoppers Stop.

After amusement park, CPM forays into luxury hotel sector

The corporate brochure distributed among potential investors describes the Hotel project as

“A luxury hotel in Calicut (now Kozhikode) with star facilities and mesmerising ambience, which will cater to the requirements of international and our own high flying business travellers,”.

The rich corporate is none other but the company "Kozhikode District Co-operative Travel and Tourism Society" that the CPM recently floated for the purpose the running this luxury hotel. The company has already acquired 58 cents of land from an ailing industrial unit near the historic Mananchira Square in Kozhikode and is in talks for the adjacent 2.5 acres of land.

Yes you heard it right they aquired land form an "ailing industrial unit" for bourgeoisie purpose

The Kozhikode District Co-operative Travel and Tourism Society is headed by a retired city police commissioner but it has several CPM leaders, including city mayor M Bhaskaran, member of parliament M Sati Devi, party’s district unit secretary T P Ramakrishnan, and private secretaries of Tourism and Home Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan and Co-operation Minister G Sudhakaran on its board.

Who says CPM guys donot have luxury. I am sure CPM Minister Sreemathi would say "staying in a luxury hotel is not a bourgeois concept and the proletariat also needed it"

Kerala CPM splitwide open due to Amusement Park

Even though advertisements released in leading newspapers said the chief minister VS would inaugurate “one of India’s largest water theme amusement parks”, VS conveniently admitted himself to a hospital a “blood pressure complaint” on the eve of the inauguration. Of course, we who have seen VS operate do understand the root cause of his blood pressure. How can a person who has consider himself to be champion of working class be seen promoting an amusement park?

The speakers are the function also did not make any mention of the chief . However, the CPM leaders acknowledged the contributions of late chief minister E K Nayanar, who laid the foundation stone for the Rs350mn Vismaya Infotainment Centre.

The health minister Sreemathy said

entertainment was not a bourgeois concept and the proletariat also needs it.

With entry fee is Rs300 per head on working days and Rs375 on weekends, i am not sure how many of proletariat can manage to enter the amusement park. Average daily wage of a laborer is about Rs 211.

It is sheer hypocrisy that the party who was leading agitation against Coca Cola for excessive usage of ground water has started a Water theme park which would need 25,000 liters of water in an hour

Communism good but not in CPM backyard!

The CPM claims to champion the cause of labour rights. But many employees unceremoniously chucked out from the CPM party mouthpiece in Kerala Deshabhimani, have been denied PF and gratuity they are entitled to.

Mr I.V. Babu who has worked for the daily for the past eight years was expelled recently from the daily as senior sub editor and has not received any reply, despite repeatedly asking for PF and gratuity. He says

"I was fired because I am a loyalist of the Kerala chief minister V.S. Achuthanandam. I am entitled to at least Rs 50,000 but I have not received any reply to my requests. I am consulting my advocate and will soon go to court,"

Another insider in the CPM daily said nearly 60-70 per cent of the staff are Achuthanandan loyalists and more employees could be fired if they speak against Pinarayi faction of the CPM.

CPM never believes in the policy of walk the talk. Some time back CPM owned kairali fired people while CPM was running national campaign against such acts!!!

Buddha attains nirvana

Buddha has finally woken up to reality. In a scathing attack on bandh culture in west Bengal he said

Personally I don’t support bandh. It’s not helping us and our country.But since I come from a party which supports bandh, so I keep mum. But next time if it happens, I’ll open my mouth,.

This is not the first time he has he has expressed his frustration with defiunct communist ideology. Sometime back he in another scathing attack on communism had said

As chief minister I cannot pursue socialism here. We are not fools. So, given the ground reality, we have to invite capitalists for the state’s development,” “We have to bring in private and foreign capital for setting up industries.”

Hopefully Buddha will survive the Bhasmasurans which LEFT will unleash on him and deliver Bengal from the menace of communist party

CPM’s amusement park set to open

Buoyed by the success of its banks, shopping malls, hospitals, newspapers and television channels, the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has forayed into Kerala’s booming tourism industry. Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan will open the Vismaya Vismaya Infotainment Centre, an amusement park build at a whooping cost of Rs 300Mn, in Kannur on August 31.

Entry fee of Rs 300 per adult on working days and Rs 375 on weekends is more than one days pay for most of the workers in Kerala whom CPM claims to represent(The average Keralite earns less than 150 rupees per day)

I wish, if CPM can think for well being of Kerala just like they think for the wellbeing of party!

Who is CPM batting for?

The CPI(M) has expressed sympathy with the kashmiri people who are protesting. “The Srinagar-Muzaffarabad road must be opened for trade,” former legislator and party leader Khalil Mohammad Naik told The Indian Express.

While GOI, continues to maintain that the highway from Jammu was absolutely free of obstructions and that the disturbances in the Valley were actually hurdles to free movement of goods and traffic.

The Centre said that the Valley protestors were being "influenced by misleading propaganda". The government said that it was the calls for bandhs and strikes in the Valley that were affecting traffic.

West Bengal BANS Anti China Protests!

Olympic torch relay may be happening in New Delhi but CPM led West Bengal Government has banned all Anti China Protests in West Bengal!

Two weeks after it allowed Tibetan activists to hold a candlelight vigil, the CPM-led West Bengal Government has denied them permission to hold a three-day anti-China public rally scheduled to begin today forcing them to go indoors.

Ironically, there were as many as 11 rallies in the city during the day. These included a rally by the Trinamool in Park Circus to protest against the state government’s failure to check prices and a similar one by CPM supporters in Tollygunge to protest against inflation.

Chinese Consul General in Kolkata Mao Siwei was quick to give much deserved praise to CPM

“This is a correct decision because the Government of India made a commitment to the Government of China that no anti-China rallies will be allowed to take place anywhere in the country,”

Remember this is the same CPM which had said

right to strike is a fundamental rights of not only government employees but of the entire working class

I guess the for CPM Loyalty towards their masters in China is more important that "some fundamental Right" of people.

Silence of the Jackals

Annual wholesale price inflation has jumped to its highest in more than three years at 7 percent. At a time when the Lower and Middle Class of India is reeling under the pressure of Price Increase, CPM the so called WatchDog(No, its not Dog with a Watch) and Saviour of Poor has strangely decided to Remain Silent.

We didnot see CPM Trademark Bandhs and Agitations. If  in Rome, it was Nero Playing fiddle when Rome was burning. India has its communists who decided to play Party Congress when Nation was facing Gravest of Issues. 

The Best we heard was the usual Barking. The CPM party congress called for “sustained and militant actions” which could mobilise crores of people affected by the price rise.

CPM's 3 conditions for prospective allies

Kick starting efforts to formulate a policy for the third alternative, the Communist Party of India-Marxist on Sunday laid down three essential conditions that any prospective ally must meet.
Senior Politburo member Sitaram Yechury said the party has started discussions on the third alternative and any party that wants to be part of it must:

1. Uncompromisingly oppose communal forces.

2. Oppose the anti-people economic reforms, which are against the working people and which divide the country into shining India and suffering India.

3. Oppose all efforts to try to make India a subordinate ally to United States' imperialism.

Lets start with the first Condition of  Uncompromisingly oppose communal forces

1. Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam-led Democratic Progressive Alliance in TamilNadu has both IUML and CPM. In the last election, the DMK  contested 130 seats, the Congress 48, the PMK 31, the CPI(M) 13, the CPI 10 and the IUML two. So its is obvious that CPM would have canvassed and Voted for IUML. and this entire alliance was supported by Tamil Nadu Muslim Munnetra Kazhagam (TMMK). Currently, TMMK was in news opposing an art show on Aurangzeb at the Lalit Kala Akademi in Chennai.

2. During Last Kerala Assembly Election, CPM was actively supported by Jamaat-E-Islami. In fact, T Arif Ali, Kerala Amir of the Jamaat-e-Islami openly issued support calls for CPM.

3. Abdul Nasser Madhani who was accused of Coimbatore Bomb Blasts is actively supported in CPM

CPM who banished Taslima Nasreen from West Bengal and banned her Book has no right to speak about "opposing" Communal Forces. In fact, under CPM Communal forces have garnered strength.

Secondly, CPM Professes their Love for Working People.

1. The love of CPM for Working People is detailed in Here "The New Feudal Lords of Kerala"

2. If that was not enough we saw the Love for Common people being Expressed in Nandigram and Singrur. Scores of Innocent people have died their, their only mistake was opposing the forceful Land Grab in the Name of "development"

3. lastly, their reaction to the Uprising in Tibet has exposed what ever little decency was left with CPM

Lastly, They donot want India to Ally with USA

1. We can understand who the first preference is for Chinese representatives in India.

Hypocrisy!!!!!

End of a Era for CPM

The CPM is beginning Coimbatore party congress without its last remaining founding fathers, Jyoti Basu and Harkishen Singh Surjeet.

This is the first time the two veterans — members of the original politburo that had presided over the CPM’s formation by splitting t he undivided communist party in 1964 — will be absent from the important meeting. Both have opted out, citing their advanced age.

Now the Next Era belongs to Leaders like  Husband Wife Duo Prakash and Brinda Karat.  It is Ironic that the UK Educated General Secretary of CPM which claims to be representative of  Workers and Peasants has never worked in his life to earn Livelihood! In fact, According to his own admission he went to Edinburgh University to Avoid Working!

"I wanted to avoid taking a job after my graduation."

His Wife, Brinda Karat was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. A Career Airhostess and a Parttime Actress (she has acted in Amu, a film directed by Shonali Bose), She did her schooling from Premier  Welham  Girls School in Dehradun and College was done from Miranda House one of the premier Women's Institutions of Delhi University. Her political activities ranged from campaigning against the mandatory wearing of skirts in the airlines to accusing famous Hindu seer Baba Ramdev of violating labor laws, and publicizing accusations about his workers mixing human body parts in potions

The best part is the Husband Wife Duo has never won a Popular Election.

Now in Coimbatore, Prakash Karat shares a larger-than-life poster with Fidel Castro and his wife is busy providing "soundbites" to secular media.

What a fall for a party who used to Boast of Leaders like EMS etc...
